like today, they do get thanks so we appreciate it. they're the first person you talk to on 911 and they're there for the men and women of the police department 24 hours a day and they do a good job and they move forward regardless of circumstances and this incident was a good example, a perfect example of what we do. i'm glad and on behalf of myself, we were able to represent our city and our department very well. lastly, i just -- the event was surprising. i think it was july 7th and it was a big deal, but it was one of those things where we didn't realize how critical this was going to be at the very first moment and i think when you make a big connection and you saw things

on the tv and the first responders make a big connection when they see things on scene and when i saw the images and find out what was going on, it was tragic, but it was interesting to see what kind of happened because i was working from one second to the next and not thinking about what i was doing. but my training kicked in so i was thankful. i just wanted to say thank you very much for the award and i appreciate it. >> thank you. [ applause ]. >> thank you very much.

>> thank you again.

>> thank you. >> thank you, supervisor breed. >> so i have the honor of making the next presentation and i like to invite the university of women, catherine is president and roberta bird. you should have in front of you a payday bar and you may be wondering why you have a payday bar in front of your desk. today april 8th is known around the country as equal payday which is the symbolic day when women's earnings catches up with men's earnings.

this is because the 23 percent wage gap that women typically face compared to men in the work place. on average, a woman earns 70 cents on the dollar for every dollar earned on a man. for african american and hispanic, it's worse. african women and latino women are paid less than their asian americans when at the have the same credential. in san francisco, the gap is less, but significant. women earns 82 cents for every dollar on men. this hurts family costing a woman's family at least $400,000 over the course of her career. four and ten mothers are the primarily bread winners in-house holds and 2/3 earners which makes this pay critical and impactful ful on our families.

equal payday has been celebrated as the public awareness campaign and to mark this day, president obama announced a pair of executive actions that will hopefully strengthen the enforcement of equal pay for women. one of them will band federal contractors for retaliating employees for discussing their pay. i want to take a moment and thank aew which is a wonderful organization that empowers women and who has been doing so for over 130 and aew has been organizing events all over the country on equal payday. this is an organization that i worked with washington d c years ago and their san francisco chapter has been involved in education, research, and fa

falanthropy. they draw a tense and awareness to young girls in our city and in our country, so on the occasion of the 2014 equal payday, on behalf of our board of supervisor, like to command ae work for raising awareness and for all of your efforts in the payday. >> thank you supervisors and thank you president chiu for this honor. as president chiu mentioned, this is equal payday. a little bit like global warming or climate change, there's people who don't believe it existing. gender pay in equity is something we need to

fight for and aew has been at the forefront of that fight for decades. aew was there in 163 when kennedy signed the equal pay act. aew was there five years ago when president obama signed the sir pay age and aew was there in the white house with president obama when he signed those two executive actions that president chiu just referred to. president obama said that the gender pay in equity -- that gender pay back is an embarrassment. we all need to really reflect on that. how well is california doing? we're doing better than the rest of the country. 84 percent awesome. but for any one of us here who is lucky enough to have a job, would any of us would be happy with only 84 percent of our salaries? i don't think so. and we share this fight with many other organizations, the same

findings that we shared with you in that summary booklet has been for policy research and for women and families. they have shared those families. aew is not the only organization that is fighting for this transition. our partners includes the emergency civil liberties union, the equal rights advocates, california women's law center, and gender justice. there's an effort to address this issue and i appreciate the acknowledgement today on gender payday. thank you all so much. i'd like to like to acknowledge our co-chair of public policy roberta who has been a driving force in public policy for aew.

>> everybody has said frg -- everybody has said everything i wanted to say. take a bite on out of that candy bar if you're not allergic to peanuts and that bite will represent what women endure everyday. being equal payday, what it means that today is the day that women on average will have earned the same as what it took men in all of last year to earn, so it takes us extra three months plus a few days so we're never catching up. that doesn't just effect women, but it affects family and it affects men and it affects our children and it affects businesses because the less money that women have, the less purchasing they have and women do make approximately 86 percent of

all buying decisions across all sectors. and as cathy noted, this booklet is full of information, and if you have a moments afterwards, you can go online and see the resources that aeg.org, the parent organization provides across all areas, not just on equal pay, but we want to thank you so much for acknowledging equal payday and acknowledging aew san francisco and helping us to continue to do our advocacy work on behalf of the women and girls and families, parents and our great city of san francisco. >> thank you very much.

they have already done on the office building, car barn, i think it makes a lot of sense to go forward with the contractor. thank you. >> can we take this item. without objection. this item has passed in the reading. item 10. >> ordinance adopting and implementing the arbitration award amending amendment no. 2 to the 2012-2014 collective bargaining agreement between the city and the county of san francisco and the international brotherhood of electrical workers, local 6, by implementing special terms and >> ordinance adopting and implementing the arbitration award amending amendment no. 2 to the 2012-2014 collective bargaining agreement between the city and the county of san francisco and the international brotherhood of electrical workers, local 6, by implementing special terms and conditions of employment of fy2013-2014. >> colleagues, same house same call. this ordinance passed in the same reading. item 11. >> motion approving the budget and legislative analyst services work plan for 2014; allocating hours for calendar year 2014; authorizing the budget and legislative analyst to reallocate up to 20 percent of the hours between services categories based on board of supervisors service needs, and requiring board of supervisors approval of hours re-allocation greater than 20 percent; establishing performance goals; and setting a date for the 2014 annual performance evaluation of the budget and >> ordinance amending the planning code to allow the construction of an additional dwelling unit or units entirely within the existing built envelope as it existed three years prior to the time of the application of the residential building or auxiliary structure

legislation was support unanimously by the planning commission. it has received the endorsement of the castro eureka valley neighborhood and the bay area reporter, the lbg d club, livable city, open health and a referral panel. colleagues as you know, we are in the mist of a housing crisis. in the castro with the exception of the new and fairly expensive units going along market street, very new housing is being built in the neighborhood. with he -- we know our population has grown by $70,000. there's many resident in the castro who are concerned about the extreme cost of housing in the neighborhood and whether they'll be priced out the neighborhood and they were wondering where they would go. castro has been neighboring. these new arrivals are having a difficult time finding housing. the legislation before about us will help of the construction of new in-law units. in-law units are more affordable than other types of housing units and they're the most affordable type of non subsidized housing according to various studies from hu d and larp and from universities. they tend to be smaller, they tend to be on the ground level. and they are frankly not as fancy as a lot of other

units. in addition, they tend to be more less expensive to built because they're being built with existing building with existing infrastructure. because they're on the ground floor tend to be more accessible for seniors, and for people who mobility challenges. in-law units add new housing to a neighborhood without changing the field or character of the neighborhood. they're built within the existing envelope of the building so we don't have height or bulk issues. the castro has a low car habitability. it makes sense to try this in the castro where there's so much transit where there are so many people who live alone. as i mentioned, this will allow for the creation of new rent control units in the area. the

castro eureka neighborhood did a survey in the neighborhood which found 70 percent of resident that responded were in support or in strong support of the legislation. briefly this allows the -- this allows for in-law units to be contracted within 1750 feet of the castro neighborhood district. hill street on the south to 14th street on the north, church street on the east, to approximately market and clayton on the west. one in-law unit will be allowed for existing buildings having up to ten units and for larger buildings, they can add two. it must be contracted within the building envelope, in a garage or a large storage space, a basement, the legislation specifically prohibits creation of these units by carving up

existing residential units. these must be created from space from the beginning not being used for residential purposes. the unit will be subject to rent control. legislation is purely voluntary. so colleagues, i think that as supervisor campos mentioned earlier, there is no silver bullet in terms of our housing crisis, it will take a thur of different approaches and this is one solid step in providing new housing that tends to be more affordable. so colleagues, i ask for your support. >> colleagues, any additional discussion. i'd like to be asked if a co-sponsor to this ordinance. take a vote. >> cohen. >> aye. >> supervisor farrell. >> aye. >> supervisor kim. >> aye. >> supervisor mar. >> aye. >> tang.

>> aye. >> supervisor wiener. >> aye. >> supervisor yee. >> aye. >> avalos. >> aye. >> breed. >> aye. >> campos. >> aye. >> supervise chiu. >> aye. >> 11 ayes speaker: this ordinance has passed on the first reading. item 12. >> resolution granting revocable permission to kieran j. woods to occupy a portion of the public right-of-way to construct and maintain various improvements, including a driveway, associated retaining wall, a vehicular carousel to provide access to a proposed new single family dwelling at 1410 stanyan street landscaping, stairs leading to a public sitting area, and other related improvements within an existing unimproved portion of stanyan street between clarendon and mountain spring avenues; conditioning the permit; affirming the planning department's determination under the california environmental quality act; and making findings of consistency with the general plan, and the eight priority policies of planning code, section101.1. >> supervisor yee. >> yes, thank you president chiu. what i like to do today is request that we continue this on for another week to allow for the interested parties to continue having their discussion and bring it back next week for a vote. >> supervisor has made a motion to continue this item and it

has been seconded by breed. that's the case. why don't we go to our first of three special orders. madam clerk, could you call items 13 and 14. >> hearing of person interested in or objecting to the ordinance ordering the vacation of portions of streets along with public service easements that may exist within the hunters point shipyard phase ii development plan area, generally bounded the 1948 bulkhead line to the north, the 1941 bulkhead line to the east, bancroft avenue to the south, and griffith street to the west, including submerged areas; ordering the vacation of portions of streets along with public service easements that may exist within the candlestick point redevelopment plan area, generally bounded by underwodd avenue, arelious walking drive, gilman avenue, donahue street, carroll avenue, alvord street, fitzgerald avenue, the city and county of san francisco county line, harney way, ingerson avenue, and hawes street, including submerged areas, ordering the conditional vacation of portions of griffith street, nichols way, cameron way, doublerock street, giants drive, hunters point expressway, jamestown avenue, >> hearing of person interested in or objecting to the ordinance ordering the vacation of portions of streets along with public service easements that may exist within the hunters point shipyard phase ii development plan area, generally bounded the 1948 bulkhead line to the north, the 1941 bulkhead line to the east, bancroft avenue to the south, and griffith street to the west, including submerged areas; ordering the vacation of portions of streets along with public service easements that may exist within the candlestick point redevelopment plan area, generally bounded by underwodd avenue, arelious walking drive, gilman avenue, donahue street, carroll avenue, alvord street, fitzgerald avenue, the city and county of san francisco county line, harney way, ingerson avenue, and hawes street, including submerged areas, ordering the conditional vacation of portions of griffith street, nichols way, cameron way, doublerock

revitalization. this grant has a strict timeline and require that we begin construction on them this summer. the street vacations before us is essential. essential to the building of rebuild of the community. i believe that we're going to hear from staff rgs both from dpw and ocii which is the former redevelopment agency, both of these departments are going to present to us in greater details about this item. so first to be presenting will be, i think it's dpw. great. >> good afternoon supervisor, i'm barbara with the department of public works. the proposed legislation before you today is a vacation of streets and public

easements within the hunters point area. and as supervisor cohen mentioned, this is a critical step that alice griffith has in the larger redevelopment of shipyard and candle stick yard. it's the bay pointers redevelopment plan. the ordinary thans that you're considering today is required to move forward with the project that the voters approved in 2008 through proposition j and the board adopted in 2010. the candle stick oint and hunters ship point is -- i'll draw your attention to a map. as i said, it was a complex network of streets which are visible and some which are paper and some are submerged. as you see from the dark outline, a good part of the

area is submerged. in turn, this is a pattern of ownership of easements and others. it was approved for the complete remapping of the blocks and streets and right away for this community. this reflects streets around alice griffith, candle stick and the shipyard, it won't limit to properties in the area. in fact the new streets that will be built by the master developer, lanar will increase the homes and the surrounding community. the office of community infrastructure and the successor has found a proposed actions to be considered by the board to be consistent with

the hunters point shipyard plan and the bay view hunters redevelopment plan. the planning department determined that the proposed vacation of the streets and easements includes with the plan. the survey and representers team are here if you have questions. >> thank you mrs. moy. >> supervisor cohen, do we have another presentation? >> yes, we do. we have one coming from ocii. >> good afternoon supervisor, my name is wells larson. i'm the president. thank you barbara for your presentation. we approved the shipyard candle stick point redevelopment plan in 2010. one of the actions that was noted in those documents at the time and in

our conversations was the vacating of these streets that barbara has discussed. so this is indeed the next step. it's required to move forward with the transfer of lands in furthering of the project. as supervisor cohen indicated, we have received a grant. an exceptionally win for the city of san francisco but it comes with strings. it requires that we move forward with this project to make sure that the existing resident are in their new homes by september of 2016. you can appreciate the tight timeline that we have been under and this is many steps we take to meet that deadline. that concludes our presentation. i'm available if you have questions and there's barbara and other members of the staff. >> thank you colleagues, any questions? if not, why don't we open up to public comment. any members

of the public that wish to speak on this item? please step up. >> good afternoon. i'm from alice griffith and al iks griffith community city has been working with this organization and they're in desperate need of repair and our residents are living in unacceptable conditions. at this meeting, community meetings and we are finally close to beginning construction on the rebuilding of ellis griffin housing. we connected ellis griffin tenants to a new

street transit and park. as re residents of ellis griffin, i support this action because it insures that the family we receive a new home within the next couple of years. please do not delay this project. thank you. >> good afternoon, my name is dr. veronica honeycut and i share the advisory committee and we have provided guidance and oversight of the shipyard development for nearly two decades. the ordinance that you are considering today is required to move forward with the project that the voters approved in 2008 through proposition g. we approved along with the bay view hunters in 2010. and that the board of
